OU* From present appearances, says the
Louisville Journal, we think it not very un
likely that we may have the Tory editor of the
Democrat with us in the support of General
Taylor for the Presidency. Well, our neigh
bor must bear in mind, that, where two ride
the same horse, one must ride behind, and we
shall be sure to crowd him pretty far back upon
the crupper.
Scarcely is a President warm in his chair,
before his successor is nominated.
JV. O. Southerner.
Such haste in looking out for a successor,
says the Pittsburg Telegraph, is perfectly ex
cusable in the people when governed by a man
so contemptibly incompetent as Polk. The
wonder is why the people do not rise in mass
and thrust him and his advisers out of the
White House.
Vy What does the Inquirer think of the re
solutions of the anti-TATLo* Legislature of
Massachusetts ??Tory Pennsylvanian.
We do not know what the Inquirer thinks
of them nor care, but tee think they axe as con
temptible and as disgraceful to the authors of
them, as the conduct of President Polk in en
deavoring to supersede old Rough and Ready
by putting Senator Benton over his head, and
of the anti-Taylor Tory House of Representa
tives in pronouncing Gen. Taylor unfit to be
the Commander-in-chief in Mexico, and cen- j
suring him for the capitulation of Monterey !
0t> Last week there were lying at Louis
ville 30 steamboats, ladened to the guards with
freight waiting to g<*t through the Portland
canal into the lower Ohio. They were detain
ed by the filling up of the canal witlj mud and
uand. Now, we ask Mr. Po!k> whether he
would not show more sense and more honesty
in signing a bill for buying this canal and
keeping it navigable by the Government, than
in refusing to do so and yet expressing himself
ready to sign a bill to dig a canal across the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec ?
?p>On the 20th of May, 1846, Mr. Stewart
submitted the following resolution : (See Ho.
Journal, page 380.)
Resolved, That the Committee on Military
Affairs be instructed to report a bill increasing
the pay of the volunteers from seven to ten dol
lars per month, and granting to those who serve
to the end of the war, or die in the service, one
hundred and sixty acres of land.
The said resolution was read :
And the question being put?shall the rule
be suspended ? It was decided in the negative,
(two-thirds not voting in favor thereof,) yeas'
70, nays 75.
The yeas and nays being desired by one-fifth
of the members present.
Those who voted in the negative are
Messrs. Stephen Adams, Atkinson, Bedinger,
Benton, Biggs, James A. Black, Boyd, Brin
kerhoff, Brockenbrough, Brodhead, Burt,
Clarke, Collin, Cranston, Cunningham, Dan
iel, Dargan, Jefferson Davis, De Mott, Dobbin,
Dockery, Dromgoole, Ellsworth, Erdman,
Ficklin, Fries, Garvin, Grover, Hamlin, Isaac

All those whose names are in Ruman were
Tories of the first water, men who unscrupu
lously sustained James K. Polk in all his usur

the never-failing friends of the poor man, who

(Aim, ' Cjtnepush 'round the kowl."
Com* American* >11, let us lomIly attest
The valor of one, we will never forget,
We have many a Star ahining bright in the West,
The Star I allude to, will ahine brighter yet.
The horizon of War, he haa juat risen o'er,
Still he shed* o'er his country, a halo of light,
Folks will know him again, that ne'er knew him
before,
And recount to their children his every fight.
We rememl>er Mount Vernon, where Washington
sleeps,
We honor, we cherish hia memory now,
There is many a stranger looks on it and weeps,
And is not ashamed to his ashes to bow.
He ia gone, but he still a pure legacy left:
A Hero himself, he left Htroes behind.
America is not of Heroes bereft;
In Taylur we courage and judgment can find.
Taylor proved, let his enernitt talk as they please,
(I know that his enemies must be but few,)
That heme', fought, and whipped 8anta Anna with
ease,
And did all that we could expect him to do.
He ia still in the field, let them come if they dare,
He is "Rough" to their notion, and "Ready" to fight
Whoever their leader, you'll find Taylor there,
Determined to meet them, whatever their might.
Irish Thanks to America. The Dublin
Freeman's Journal of the 3d ult, thug no
tices the efforts making in America, for
the relief of the famishing poor in Ire
land:?
" In America there is no overflowing of
lip charity, and lack of that which is real?
no humanity mongering?no plentitude of
sympathetic action and poverty ot sym
pathetic action?no wallowing in pre
scriptive slander?no resource to Billin
gsgate abuse of Ireland and the Irish, after
the fashion of many parties in England
no churlish, mean, money-lending, politi
co-economico spirits to guide and disgrace
its progress. . No! the conduct of America
stands in bright and glorious contrast with
that of England. In the day of our deso
lation we have found the readiest hands?
aye! and the most bounteous?stretched to
I our aid from the mouth of the St. Lawrence
to the mouth of the Mississippi, without
the flourish of the Pharisee, or the cold
blooded calculation of the Legist.
" Honour then to America. In it the
causes of humanity needs no spur from
shame, hypocrisy, 01 'state policy.' In her
bosom we knew that our exile9 found a
refuge where they were safe from exter
minating landlords and class-legislatrorr?
where the motto for all was 'live, and let
live!'?and not?'live ye, the many?or
die?for the few?theunpriviledged for the
privileged!' But never, much as our
hearts yearned towards America as the asy
lum of our hopeles cast-out thousands, ne
ver, we say, great as was our experience
of the generosity with which our country
men were received on its shores, were we
prepared for the surprising acts of humani
ty and benevolence towards this stricken
nation, which mail after mail enables us to
record, and to bless.
?? We write with hearts of overflowing
gratitude and love?gratitude and love not
springing so much from the sense of bene
fits received, as from a respect for the man
ner in which they have been tendered. In
the efforts that are made by Ameiicans to
succor and to save us, we view the promise
of that sure and Christian friendship which
ought to keep pace with the progress of
civilization; but which pseudo-statesmen
never cultivate between nations, unless for
an occasion?as if the interests of man
kind were not identified with amity."

rpHE C-VNTON TEA COMPANY has been
A p? pularly known for many years. This is the
largest and oldest Tea Establisinent in America.?
The public have had lull proof of their integrity and
responsibility. But such has !>een the great and
pressing demand for their TEAS of late, that they
have been obliged to enlarge, to a great extent, tueir
two principal establishments in New York, vix:
125 CHATHAM AND 163 GREENWICH
STREETS.
They moreover possess facilities, in relation to the
Tea Trade, in a very abuudant degree, and doubt
less, superior to any other Tea Concern in America.
Their scrupulous regard to all principles that tend
to elevate the character of a large house, is well un
derstood, and has already secured them a connec
tion, probably, larger than all other Tea Establish
ments united, and they consequently are determined
to sell Teas purer, more fragrant, and perfect fur
the prices, in the aggregate, than any house in the
world?China excepted.
They most zealously invite the attention of the in
habitants of WASHINGTON, D. C.f to their
Agency, where the following assortments aie always
on hand; and they feel no hesitation iri stating that
wherever a single trial is made, a very decided pre
ference is given to the celebrated Teas of the CAN

THE TILES.
P FOR LIFE SECURED.
DR. UTlIAM'S Vegetable Electuary,
an internal remedy for the Piles,?prepared bv
Dr. A. Upham, M. D., a tegular educated Physician
who has devoted fifteen years attention almost en
tirely to this disease.
The Electuary is a certain cure for the Piles, and
also for other diseases of a similar nature, which are
frequently found in conjunction with Piles, Hashes,
Inflammation of the Liver, and Spleen; Inflamma
tion, Soreness, and Ulceration of the Stomach, Bow
els, Kidneys, and bladder ; Inflammatory and Mer
curial Rheumatism ; Impurity of Blood Weakness*
and Inflammation of the Spine.
THE VEGETABLE PILE ELECTUARY is
the only really successful remedy for that dangerous
and distressing complaint, the PILES, ever offered
to the American Public.
Mark this: it is an INTERNAL REMEDY?
not an externil application?and will cure any case
of Piles, either Bleeding or Blind, Internal or Exter
nal ; and probably the only thing that will. There
is no mistake about it. It is a positive cure?speedy
and permanent. It is also a convenient medicine to
take, and improves the general health in a remarka
ble manner.
It is very mild in its operation, and may be taken
in cases of the most acute inflammation, without
danger. All external applications are in the highest
degree disagreeable, inconvenient, and offensive; and
from the very nature of the disease, temporary in
their eflects. This medciihe attacks the disease at
its source, and REMOVING THE CAUSE, ren
ders the cure CERTAIN and PERMANENT.
The Electuary contains mineral medicine, no Al
oes, Coeocynth, Gamboge, or other powerful and ir
ritating purgative. No fear of taking cold while unl
der its influence; no change in diet necessary. If
taken according to directions, a cure for life is guar
anteed / *

Washington City, D. C.
It is very seldom that I have ever recommended
any new invention, because I know that recommen
dations are so frequent and easilyjpbtained, that they
are in general of little value. But I consider i(
nothing more than an act of justice to the inventor
to hear testimony to the good qualities of Harper s
Metalic Compound for tharpening Razors, and to
say it is the very best material for the purpose that
has come to my notice. I have made a fair trial of
it, and have never found any thing equal to it for
giving a keen edge to a Razor.
